Yes, I know it is heavy going for a coal board ... The take home message is watch what you eat. There are cancer centers that treat with just food.

It isn't always food or environment. Going through this now with my older brother. Sometimes, your body gets tired of fighting itself.

Thank you. He has esophageal, root cause appears to be acid reflux causing Barret"s. Aggravated by a hiatal hernia and scoliosis of the spine from a polio episode in childhood. They will hack out half of his esophagous and a third of his stomach. Looking at January to do the surgery.

I believe pharmaceuticals can be excellent SHORT TERM aides.
Long term use should be limited and only as needed, with ongoing re-evaluations.
Too many times pharma's mask symptoms and interfere with the body's normal systems, which often adjust to reduce the chemicals' effects.
Tackling the CAUSES and striving for overall system BALANCE is often the better approach.
Faith and Prayer are the biggest factors to handling and surviving these kinds of events.
As someone who has fought the battle for 17 years and flatlined 3 times, with many ups and downs, I don't claim to be the supreme expert on the subject, but I definitely have my "club card"
Prayers for your brother and everyone who is touched by his challenge.

Diet has a lot to do with it, but not always. The president of the Maine Farmers and Gardeners Association died of cancer after a lifetime of commital to Organic Standards.
A person just never knows.
For me it was industrial exposure to radiation (x-raying welds). In fact it was only because I had such long term exposure that I was even tested for cancer at age 42. I am now on my second battle with it with no end in sight. I flat lined 9 days ago, but am still going...

My bone marrow cancer is most likely due to my having worked at a chemical factory that enriched uranium from the start of the Manhattan Project on into the mid 1950's. In about 1984 the government closed the place down after determining that 17 of the 19 buildings on the property were still too radioactively hot for humans to work in. Interesting that it took them about 27 years to even get around to checking for this, but I figure that's about par for the course when the government is involved. Employees were never told about what the place did in its past (although there had been rumors of it) until the day we were told to go home because the place was being permanently shut down due to high radiation levels. The entire property is now considered an unusable wasteland.

On top of that, I grew up within a 10 minute walk of the factory, and about 4 years ago the government stripped all of the ground in my former neighborhood down about a foot and a half, carted it all away, and replaced it with fresh dirt. I wonder why they would do that? They left all of the houses standing and occupied.

Trying to get rid of the Japanese beetle? Many places in the US are science experiments for the gov. Reading Lab 257 now, and still after 40 year(more) they have not admitted the collapse of the deer herd and subsequent cancer rates in rural Maine are cause by Dioxin administered in the "budworm spray" program which stalled the loss of the fir forest to help the paper industry.....dang, where is my tinfoil hat?On top of that, I grew up within a 10 minute walk of the factory, and about 4 years ago the government stripped all of the ground in my former neighborhood down about a foot and a half, carted it all away, and replaced it with fresh dirt.

Surprise, it was radioactive waste products in the soil. My house bordered the remediated contamination zone. If this public land was radioactive, then so was the house and yard I grew up in. I attended the school and played in the fields and playground that were remediated.lsayre wrote: ↑Tue.
